I'll generally use any basic lands, but do prefer the lands from the Shards Block, Lorwyn Block, Zendikar full arts, and the Swamps and misty purply Forests from Innistrad.
In my casual decks, I have whatever foils I have lying around, but in my legacy decks, the basics are either ones I've altered, or whatever extra "pimp" cards I've gotten through collecting (hence my name).
Forest, island, plains, swamp, mountain are my preferences. I have ~20 of each all in foil except the mountains as I rarely play red. The plains I have only about 7 or 8 as they are tough to come across in bulk at a decent price!
revised.
i just feel classy having a tap symbol thats nothing more than a crooked T.
except for modern. my modern deck uses the alara, naya themed lands.
edit: i also really hate the big dumb mana symbol they shove on new lands. have since they were first tried with portal. seemed so pokemon and like oh hey i can't read.

I feel the opposite, like having the words on the lands says "Oh hey I forgot what basic lands do."
Understand, Dredge is not really a Magic: The Gathering deck. When a card is playable in it, it doesn't mean it's a tournament playable card. It means it's playable in whatever crazy fantasy world that Dredge operates in.
John Avon full-art Zendikar for all lands except in EDH. I like my basics to all look the same in case I get Duressed or something. In EDH I don't care if my opponent can track my hand, though, so I use whatever I have handy.

Whatever basics I can get my hands on. For some reason, I never seem to have a lot of basics on hand so I sort of just stuff whatever I have into whatever I'm making. lol.

For casual 60 cards decks, I just throw in any lands from THE LAND BOX!!!
For EDH, each land HAS TO BE DIFFERENT of course! I gravitate towards the RAV basic land art first, then I add recent core set lands till I get the amount I need.
I started in 4th Edition, so I'm still partial to the old-school original-art lands.
That said, I finally switched over to Zen full-art Plains for my current Standard deck (as I didn't have enough originals), so who knows what I'll do in the future.
I know it is kind off trendy and the price def sucks, but i think the unhinged and unglued lands look so cool
if you can't afford or refuse to trade at 3-4 bucks a pop, use zen lands they look pretty good
For standard I use Unhinged, I found them on ebay two years ago, a guy was selling 20 of each (100 total) for 100 bucks. EDH deck uses foil old frame singletons, legacy decks use beta.
My cube list is as follows: Swamp Mountain Forest Island Plains
I use only Zendikar lands when building standard decks because I have a ton of them back when I traded people for their lands they would pull out of packs.
For legacy I use foil ravnica lands as Rav is my favorite "world" and the lands from that plane are some of the most beautiful especially the plains and islands.
In modern I just use regular Rav lands.
BOLDED. THIS!
For a long time, I believed this was the most beautiful Magic card in existence. I have over 100 foils of this.
Big shout out to Megabug at Realm of the Bug Studios for the sig!

If I wanna go super special for myself they'll come from Urza's Saga or Tempest and have the "Tap: Add mana" on them. That looks so elegant to me.
